3 The Lost Letters of William Woolf Helen Cullen

A love letter to second chances, the resilience of the human heart and the power of the written word

Lost letters have only one hope for survival . . .

Inside the Dead Letters depot in East London, William Woolf is one of thirty letter detectives who spend their days solving mysteries: missing postcodes, illegible handwriting, rain- smudged ink, lost address labels, torn packages, forgotten street names - they are all the culprits of missed birthdays, broken hearts, unheard confessions, pointless accusations, unpaid bills and unanswered prayers.

But when William discovers letters addressed simply to 'My Great Love', his work takes on new meaning. Written by a wistful woman to the soulmate she hasn't met yet, the missives capture William's heart in ways he didn't know were possible, and soon he begins to wonder: Are these letters truly lost? Or might he be the intended recipient - could he be her great love?

Helen Cullen is an Irish writer living in London. The Lost Letters of William Woolf is her debut novel.

53 Unnatural Causes Dr Richard Shepherd

A REAL-LIFE SILENT WITNESS FROM ONE OF BRITAIN'S FOREMOST FORENSIC PATHOLOGISTS

'The dead do not hide the truth and they never lie. Through me the dead can speak . . .'

Dr Richard Shepherd is the UK's foremost forensic pathologist, his job to understand the deaths which may have no natural cause. From crime scene to courtroom, his findings are crucial to the pursuit of justice. His work has seen killers put behind bars, exonerated the innocent, and turned open-and-shut cases on their heads.

Shepherd's obsession with revealing the secrets of the dead is personal. At medical school, while performing his first autopsy, he held the heart of the patient in his hand and thought of his late mother, taken too early by heart disease.

He became driven by the challenge of finding the truth, of seeing justice, and by compassion: sometimes for the dead, but always for those they have left behind.

Thoughtful, revealing, chilling, sometimes bizarre and always unputdownable, Unnatural Causes is the true crime book of the year.

At the local grammar school he was introduced to a medical textbook smuggled into the classroom by a friend September 2018 which opened his eyes to the world of crime and murder, 9780718182717 setting him on a lifelong quest to understand death in its many Royal Octavo forms.

His skills and expertise still remain in demand around the world.

57 Octopuses: A Ladybird Expert Book Dr Helen Scales

Part of the new Ladybird Expert series, Octopuses is a clear, authoritative and entertaining introduction to these eight- armed, ink-making, soft-bodied wonders.

There's something strange about octopuses, something that makes them quite unlike any other animals on Earth. With their suckered arms they reach into our imaginations, grab hold and don't let go.

Sometimes the octopuses we conjure are charming and companionable. Ringo Starr invited us beneath the waves, to the welcoming seclusion of an Octopuses' Garden. More often, the fictional octopuses we invite into our world are far more frightening - Jules fearsome pack of poulpes in 20,000 leagues under the sea, Octopussy and her gang of female gangsters encountered by James Bond, and of course H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu.

Written by celebrated marine biologist and documentarian Helen Scales, Octopuses reveals how our familiarity with all these fun and formidable octopuses has, at least until recently, been at odds with our understanding of the real, living creatures. Gradually we're discovering that fact is often far stranger than fiction.

Helen Scales is a marine biologist, writer, broadcaster, surfer and diver. When she's not on or under the waves, she writes and talks about the connections between people, science and the living world. She's a tutor at the University of Cambridge October 2018 and advises the charity Sea Changers on how to help 9780718189099 safeguard British sea life.

Written by celebrated historian and broadcaster Dr Suzannah Lipscomb, Witchcraft explores the moment in history when witches were perceived to be especially dangerous: the famous witch hunts between 1450 and 1750.

You'll learn how the figure of the witch remains culturally relevant. In horror films, TV shows and pop culture, the figure of the witch retains her potency to attract and repel.

Witch hunts in one form or another have persisted for thousands of years. Understanding why people were and continue to be persecuted for witchcraft matters now, more than ever.

61 Bubbles: A Ladybird Expert Book Helen Czerski

Part of the new Ladybird Expert series, Bubbles is a clear, surprising and entertaining introduction to the science of bubbles.

Bubbles are beautiful, ephemeral, fun, fragile, jolly and slightly unpredictable. We're all familiar with them, but we don't often ask what they actually are.

The great scientists of the Western world - Robert Hooke, Isaac Newton, Lord Rayleigh and more - studied bubbles seriously. They recognised that they had a lot to say about the nature of the physical world, and they poked, prodded and listened to find out what it was. In the years since, we've learned that this bulbous arrangement of liquid and gas does things that neither the gas or the liquid could do by itself.

Written by the celebrated physicist and oceanographer Helen Czerski, Bubbles explores how everything from the way drinks taste to the Earth's temperature are influenced by bubbles.

This book has a message: never underestimate a bubble!

Helen Czerski is a physicist, first and foremost, but she's acquired a few other labels along the way: oceanographer, broadcaster, author and bubble enthusiast. Her academic home is the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University College London, where she studies the physics of ocean bubbles, particularly the ones underneath breaking waves.

63 Have You Eaten Grandma? Gyles Brandreth

A hilarious lament on the misuse of English grammar from the self-proclaimed punctuation perfectionist Gyles Brandreth

Is 'alright' all right? You'll find out right here. From dangling clauses to gerunds, you'll also discover why Santa's helpers are subordinate clauses.

In Have You Eaten Grandma? he waxes lyrical about the importance of language as, after all, it is what we use to define ourselves and, ultimately, is what makes us human.

Gyles Daubeney Brandreth is an English theatre producer, actor, politician, journalist, author and TV presenter. Born in Germany, he moved to London at the age of three and, after his education at New College, Oxford, he began his career in television.

This is Gloria's inspiring journey from post-war poverty to being dubbed 'Mrs Christmas', with her loyal companions by her side.

Yorkshire, Christmas, 1953. They'd had a cold and hungry winter, but Gloria's mother had scrimped and saved to ensure the fire was lit and her five children each had a plate full of food.

A marked man, Mike was forced to leave everything behind and move to the Peak District for a fresh start. But his old life was never far behind and when he fell for Charmane, a Romany Gypsy, kin to the very people he was hiding from, he knew he wouldn't be safe for much longer . . .

The Gypsy is a story of secret identity, revenge and forbidden love that's perfect for fans of Running with the Firm, Undercover and Soldier Spy.

Mike Woodhouse was born in 1970 in a Norfolk village. His childhood was taken up by rugby and camping holidays, disappearing onto the Broads for weeks at a time with a tent and a canoe. He followed his father into engineering and set up his own company, travelling the world and winning an award for innovation in the halal industry. He now serves real ale and paints portraits.
